I just read the following:

And noticed this:

Since LILO is included in RedHat 7.2 as well as GRUB, why doesn't the
XFS installer just install LILO instead?

Is this because of GRUB or XFS? I understand that XFS cannot boot this
way, but some of us still use Ext2 for our / (root) partition (with no
separate /boot) and XFS for everything else.
Some of us like to use XOSL loader (among others) as a 3rd party MBR
boot loader.
